About This Movie

Rod Steele 0014: You Only Live Until You Die is this quirky blend of action and comedy that doesn’t take itself too seriously. You’ve got Rolfe Kanefsky at the helm, and it shows – the pacing flits between outright absurdity and moments that feel almost like a parody of classic spy flicks. The character Rod Steele, or Agent 0014, is certainly not your typical suave secret agent; he’s more of a bumbling misfit. What’s neat is how the film leans into its low-budget aesthetic, with practical effects that sometimes charm and sometimes make you chuckle. And the villainess, Tangerina, is a piece of work – she brings a fun energy to the whole thing. It’s distinctive for its tongue-in-cheek approach to the genre, really a unique watch for those who appreciate oddball cinema.
